The board will review all or ganizations chartered by the Sen ate Committee on Student Af fairs to discover if all are still in existence. Student Government Associa tion President Leonard Julius ex plained the board’s purpose last night. “The board is also a type of court of original jurisdiction,” he said. It can hear cases concerning vi* olations by various organizations. It may not, Julius said, enforce its decisions itself, but it may make recommendations to the Senate Committee for action. All the board’s decisions are subject to review by the Senate Sub-committe on Organizational Control. The board is composed of eight members, who are chosen by in terview with the SGA President. Each member- must be a president of an organization chartered by the Senate Committee and must have a 2.4 All-University average. Mortar Board Drops From Hat Council Mortar Board, senior women’s honorary leadership society, has announced it would withdraw from-the Hat Society Coun cil, due to the organization’s lack of purpose. In a letter to council president Stanley Foster, Mortar Board listed four reasons as the basis of its decision to quit the council. • Since the cheerleaders have taken control of pep rallies, Mor tar Board feels that the major function of the council has been eliminated, •Mortar Board questions the need for $5 ' dues required of council members! In the past, the letter pointed out, fhe accumula tion of council funds was used to help societies having financial difficulties. Mortar. Board feels this is no longer necessary. •Mortar Board feel? .that each society has more worthwhile projects than the council, and feels that greater efficiency of time could be produced if- the individual projects could, 1 proceed independent of the council. ..•For the past seven the status and value of t eu has been questioned fended on the grounds provides for a uniform date.

Another method of insuring sufficient time to change classes was a warning system which would indicate the begirVng and end of classes. Members asked that such a sys tem be investigated as well as the possibility of synchronizing clocks throughout the University. These suggestions were made as possible solutions to problems that may arise in he next few years of both student and campus expansion. Transportation, another prob lem that will come up in the next few years, was also dealt with by workshop members. Some solutions to this problem were: facilities for bicycle trans portation on campus; self financ ing parking on campus; chartered express bus service betwen State College and large cities; and the private establishment of a bus service between the outlying res idential areas and the main cam pus. In the field of recreational ex pansion, members recommended that the University construct a swimming pool to be converted during the summer for open air use, to be equipped for coeduca tional use and to have spectator facilities. They asked that horse back riding facilities be provided on a rental basis and that swim ming, diving, weight lifting, and fencing teams be reestablished on the intercollegiate level.

FOR A BETTER PENN STATE STATE COLLEGE, PA., WEDNESDAY MORNING. OCTOBER 7, 1959 Dock Strikers Sent Back to Work by Ike on / ALM SPRINGS > Calif. (/P) — President Eisenhower paved the way yesterday for an 80-day cooling-off halt of the dock strike by invoking the Taft-Harlley law. He said the Atlantic and Gulf Coast shutdown by the independent International Longshoremen's Asso ciation threatens national health and safety. The President deferred similar action in the 84-day-old nation-wide steel strike. But he hinted he soon may use the Taft-Hartiey back-to-\voik com t injunction piovisions in that shutdown, too. James C. Hageriy, White House press secretary, noted the new collapse of labor-maragement ne gotiations in the steel strike and told a news conference at Eisen hower’s vacation headquarters: "The President has asked me to say that this situation is not collective bargaining, which is the instrument open to a free people in major economic dis putes. "This seems to bo getting down more and -more to a trial of strength between two groups with the American public the greatest loser In Washington, Labor Depart ment officials predicted a baek to-work injunction will be ob tained in federal court by Friday. An ILA spokesman, informed of .the President’s action, said in 'New York*. "We always obey the i government.” Eisenhower's use of the Tail- Hartley law in the dock strike came with the shutdown only six days old. In the dock tie-up, which has halted shipping from Maine to Texas, Eisenhower said in an ex ecutive order that the strike “will imperil the national health and safety’ 1 if.permitted to continue. - The President added the strike also impedes the flow of neces sary perishable products, includ ing food, to heavily populated Atlantic and Gulf Coast polls. As the first step under the Taft-Harlley national emer gency provisions. Eisenhower named a three-man fact-find ing board and instructed the members to report to him by Saturday. The board makes no recommendations. Both sides in the strike were told to appear today in Washing ton before the board. The hear ing is expected lo take only one day. r,. r Fn nnirrne 1 ' , » “Collepian photo by Wayne Benjamin EAGER BEAVERS are ahead of schedule on the new Beaver Field Stadium, When both sides of the upper deck are in place the old stadium will be moved in to serve as the lower deck.
